Viva Las Vegas

After the 12th person pointed and laughed at Melissa informing her that the Star Trek Experience (TM) was at the Hilton not Caesar's Palace, Hudson finally let the bard change out of the Borg costume. Ok, that wasn't the real reason, she was actually getting a bit sick of Melissa hitting her with all those tubes coming out of her neck and face.

HL: Here try this. (hands Melissa a black cloak)

MM: Who do you think I am the Oracle of Delphi?

HL: Need I remind you who packed this wardrobe?

MM: (muttering) (wraps cloak around herself and heads out the door)

Trancer: Who do you think you are, the Oracle of Delphi?

MM: (shut-up pissant)

GC: (thumps Melissa in the back of the head) Stop that.

Trancer: (Ha-ha)

GC: (thumps Melissa in the back of the head) Stop that.

MM: But...

GC: (arching an eyebrow)

MM: yes Goddess. (oh you're going to pay Trancer, you're going to pay)

GC: Ok. What shall we do first?

MM: Well I'm kind of hungry.

GC: (blank stare) that was a rhetorical question bard. Anyway I didn't fly all the way to Las Vegas just to eat. We could do that anywhere.

HL: Well I'm kind of hungry.

GC: Oh that's a wonderful suggestion Hudson. After-all, this is the land of the buffet.

Normally Melissa would have been upset by this blatant disregard for her feelings (it wouldn't have mattered mind you, but still she'd of been miffed), but at the mention of the word buffet she lapsed in to some sort of all-you-can-eat haze and lost track of reality. Until...

GC: (smack) stop drooling.

MM: (Mmmmmm roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, nutbread, cole slaw, pineapple, dessert, cheesecake, ice cream, little sprinkles...)

Well ok that didn't snap her out of it...

The group made their way to the buffet line. Naturally Callisto went straight to the front.

Cashier: Excuse me Miss, you will have to go to the back of the line.

MM &HL & Trancer: (LOL!)

Cashier: (blank stare) What's so funny?

MM: You'll see.

Apparently it was only funny to the Cirran's because when all was said and done the Cashier was not laughing...not that you could tell...what her being in a crumpled heap on the ground.

GC: We have to get it ourselves?

MM: Yes. That's half the fun Goddess. (proceeds to go into a lengthy diatribe regarding the thrill of SEEING each item sectioned off in its own little stainless steel container, trying to decide what you have room for on your plate, but anticipating the items ahead, which may be better than the first items, you just never knew!)

GC: sorry I asked.

MM: NO! (bats Callisto's hand away) NEVER TAKE THE TOP TRAY!

GC: (blank stare)

MM: (oblivious) Hades himself doesn't know where it's been. Watch. Do what I do.

HL & Trancer: (back away)

MM: (still oblivious) Always take a tray from the middle. It's just safer that way. Now I recommend you skip the salad bar at first, it's just a trick to get you to load up on lettuce.

Pop Quiz: What transpired next? Was it:

1. Too graphic in it's violent content for the younger viewers of our mailing list and therefore not presentable. Suffice it to say, Melissa learned a valuable lesson in buffet manners. It's never polite to bat the Goddess's hand away.
2. Too graphic in it's violent content for even our older viewers. Suffice it to say, Melissa learned a very valuable lesson that day regarding salad bars, buffet trays, cottage cheese, and the laws of physics.
3. Callisto was so befuddled by the bard's audacity that she simply followed the Melissa's instructions leaving Trancer and Hudson dazed and confused.
4. Callisto said to hell with the bard's instructions and loaded up on salad anyway.
5. None of the above you pissant bard, the correct answer is: (make up your own response)

Answer correctly (if you dare) and win a glorious fun filled vacation to and undisclosed location.
